Paleo Chocolate Milk Shake Recipe

Chocolate has gotten such a bad rap these days. Admit it. You probably thought Skinny Chocolate Shake was some kind of big funny joke. Like there is no possible way skinny and chocolate belong in the same sentence.

Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake

But wait! Chocolate is actually good for your when you use unsweetened cocoa powder. The cocoa powder actually contains a few trace vitamins and minerals AND tastes super sweet like chocolate when blended with a frozen banana. One sip and you will totally understand why skinny + chocolate belong together forever.

Hope you Enjoy! =)

Chocolate Shake Recipe Ingredients

Unsweetened almond milk

Frozen banana

Peanut butter

Unsweetened cocoa powder

Honey or agave (optional)

Vanilla

The almond milk offers a healthy alternative to traditional chocolate milk shakes which include dairy. Almond milk is a staple product used in many paleo recipes as a dairy substitute. We also like using honey which acts as a healthier, natural sweetener.

Hi! We have had several people asking for the nutritional value on this Skinny Chocolate Shake so here is the scoop… we are pretty adamant that calories don’t tell the whole story, what really matters is that you are getting lots of vitamins and minerals and cutting out on fake chemically processed foods, but we realize calories are important to some people so here is what we came up with for this: Unsweetened Almond Milk 30 cals, Banana 70 cals, Cocoa 10 cals, Peanut Butter 45 cals = approximately 155 calories

I had altered the recipe a little by using what I had in my cabinet: vanilla pudding mix instead of cocoa powder and almond butter instead of peanut butter. It turned out great. Thanks for the recipe!!!

A quick question. How would it work if I blended it before I went to work and then kept it in the frig there for an afternoon treat?
That would mean that would mean about 9 hours from blending to consuming. Has anyone tried that or it better to enjoy right after blending? Thanks!!!

Lesa, It is definitely better right after blending! but we have also made it in the morning and left a portion for the afternoon and still loved it! It kept its creaminess and it was really good too! 🙂

My wife and I love these Skinny shakes. I personally don’t like banana and peanut butter in the same drink. But I follow the recipe the same way except no peanut butter. I use a Nutribullet to make ours and found that you can use your choice of milk and fruit or yogurt, but to make is to where the machine doesn’t have a hard time grinding the ice I just use crushed ice.
